    Rick Astley discusses his performance at Glastonbury this weekend. I really love how he's handled being an internet meme for so long - he's embraced the absurdity of it all, which is probably part of why it's been a thing for so long.

    From the article:

    “I would get lynched if I didn’t play ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’. It’s part of my DNA and who I am. I can say it, because I didn’t write – but there’s no way of getting away from that song. It’s part of the wallpaper. I never play it with a grimace, because those songs are the only reason I even get a hint of playing Glastonbury. I’m not daft enough to fool myself into thinking otherwise. I relish those songs. They’re my suit of armour.”

    It's really nice to see compared to all the drama surrounding some mega-stars. His performance with a band at the Isle of Wight is very good and everyone seems to have fun, I'm happy for him. And if you add Dave Grohl, it's even better.
